At least 25 miles per person per day, in two months will go bad tendon at the end of the water shoes. Weekends and holidays, cycle and walk every day next to the railroad tracks.

This is the 14th year of Wang Wei, train skin cleansing, his skin has been tanned. Skin cleaning, we have two teams, as a team leader, Wang Wei has been responsible for fetching water. “One day, two groups at night. A team with 11 people, 3 epithelial brush, 3 glass and leather skin brush, 3 brush the skin of the lower, then people with a soda and spray cleaning agent. ”
